The mysterious ride taking shape at Lagoon is looking more and more like a roller coaster of some sort.

A recent photo provided to the Standard-Examiner shows a green section of track rising up to the top of the main body of the ride, with another track extension poking out of the mass.

Whatever the case, a rep from the Farmington amusement park isn’t saying much, as has been the case all along as the ride has slowly materialized — all the better to heighten curiosity and build anticipation.

“We usually don’t announce things until we’re ready to bring them online,” said Adam Leishman, a Lagoon spokesman. “Part of it is we like having surprises for people.”
